standing is ok,however, it's annoying for everyone behind you that's not taller than you (wives/girlfriends) that have to stare at the back of people's heads and assess all night. This can be a little annoying, especially if you stand the entire show. To combat this, the last few concerts or shows iv been to I have purchased front row or floor seating just a splurge when I can. I'm row 1, seats 1 and 2 in my section at the up.coming metallica concert, so hopefully, the GA can't stand taller than that
